Usage

This template may be used on Wiktionary entry pages to quote from a collection of Robert Frost's works entitled The Poems of Robert Frost (1946). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at the Internet Archive.

If a poem first appears in a work for which there is a specific quotation template (for example, {{RQ:Frost North of Boston}}), use that template instead of this one.

For help with linking other English Wikipedia articles to the template, and/or indicating the dates when works were written or published, leave a message on the talk page or at "Wiktionary:Grease pit".

• |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |2= or |page=; or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. If quoting from the essay "The Constant Symbol", indicate the page number(s) in lowercase Roman numerals. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=110–111 or |pages=xv–xvi.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

This parameter must be specified to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.
• |footer= – a comment on the passage quoted.
• |brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.
